One key to making EV adoption to work is fast charging. People that are used to filling up their gas tanks in mere minutes won’t be so easily swayed by the idea of having to sit at a charging station for nearly an hour.
In charging testing done by Edmunds, they found the fastest and slowest charging EVs on the market. While Edmunds used metrics like miles per charging hour to mainly measure the speed, it can come off a bit confusing. So we’ll stick with their basic metric here: the time it took to get to 100 miles of range. The EVs here are the slowest charging EVs they tested, in order from least slowest to slowest.
Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 18 mins 4 seconds
Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium Extended Range RWD - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 18 mins 15 seconds
Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum -/Average time to add 100 miles of range: 18 mins 47 seconds
Rivian R1T Launch Edition (21-inch wheels) - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 19 mins
Rivian R1T Launch Edition (20-inch wheels) - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 19 mins 3 seconds
Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 20 mins 26 seconds
Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 23 mins 22 seconds
Chevrolet Bolt - Average time to add 100 miles of range: 33 mins 31 seconds

Sounds like there’s a story behind your post.
Mist of the existing homes in this country still do not have 200 A electric service.
How in Hades are these folks supposed to charge an EV?
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that EVs are about saving the planet the same way CoupFlu vaxxes are about protecting public health.
Whee. Not my idea of fun! Definitely agree about the plane; last time I had to use one of those time was more pressing than my convenience, and it was also wretched.

If true (forget covidmania data) the road trip is not a common thing, despite all the digital ink it gets. Typical Brandon lackeys trying to expunge the world pre-virus. I’ll need earlier data before I’d jump to conclusions.
